I recently got a Wacom Bamboo tablet and I've found this really good tutorial on how to paint with Photoshop. Unlike all those speed painting videos, this one really show you the basics.

Hopefully, I'll be able to put all these techniques to good use and be able to post some new art here soon.


Thanks for posting that video. It's going to come in very handy when my new tablet arives. I'm so excited to finaly upgrade beyond my mouse.

How do you like y our Bamboo? Which model do you have?


Which tablet did you go for?

I used your's and another poster's suggestions and it was difficult to make a decission. I finaly decided that I want a display tablet because I want it to be more like drawing on paper. After many reviews I went with the new upgraded Yiynova MSP19U. The reviews are good and the new model has a new digitizer with far better results and support.


For performance reason, even though they're pretty expensive, I'd never concider a pen display other than Wacom's Cintiq line.

The Yiynova has lag issues and requires a battery for the pen (O_o). For me, I wouldn't even concider it. Altough to be fair, most pen display have lag. This one has a pretty low res screen.
But that 2048 pressure sensitivity is good. Maybe for your first pen display, this might still be good.
